The American right wing has forgiven Donald Trump for his affairs, impeachments, mass deportations and the platforming of JD Vance.
But having stuck with him through all that unpleasantness,
it seems that we may have discovered the one thing that is capable of splitting some Maga conservatives from Trump:
starting a war in the Middle East.
On Tuesday Joe Kent, the US counter-terrorism chief
who previously ran for office as an ultra-Maga, white nationalist-endors…

The US right wing can forgive Trump for anything – except his deeply unpopular war
Iran war has split some Maga conservatives from Trump and alienated young voters. What will it mean in the midterms?

I am amazed how well these 3D-printed PETG parts have survived all these years in the elements. They're gunked up, but still flexible and strong as ever.
These were part of the sensor network I build during my #PhD, which I tore down today. End of an era for me. A good one.
#3dPrinting

a little frisbee with sensors underneath, mounted with a 3d printed bracket to a white pole laying on grassy ground. The frisbee cracks (after years of exposure to the elements), but the 3d printed PETG parts are flexible and strong as ever.

Kinda related to #Gentoo, so cool" or "they stopped using it, so sad". And I'm like, "why should we care?"
Do they donate money to Gentoo? They don't. And if they did, it would probably come with obligations making this not worth it.
Do they contribute back? Rarely, and if they do, they are unreliable. They benefit more than we do. They just want to dump the packages they need, quickly duct taped together, so that we would maintain them going forward. Their employees rarely reveal that they're paid to do this, and if they do, it's not so they'd be held to higher standards, but to emphasize their importance: "you must placate us."
Well, sometimes they hire Gentoo developers. It's nice that these developers get some gratification for their work, especially if they're able to continue contributing on work time. But in the end, company priorities win. We are either left with loads of new packages with no maintainer and unclear significance, or a Google employee who appeared every once in a while to dump a bunch of ChromeOS patches and never bothered handling the fallout.
So, sorry, but I'd rather care for volunteers who want to make Gentoo better, than companies who see some profit incentive in it.
PS. I'm probably focusing too much on the negative aspects, and we likely had some positive interactions that are far less known and usually don't meet with such fanfare.
